Some have asked where OG has been recently. I believe he had claimed his internet would be offline for a couple of weeks, however, I noticed this news article today:
Kim Jong Un missing?[^]
Could it be that OG is Kim Jong Un? Or perhaps a sniper assassin?
Too much of a coincidence to just ignore this.

For conspirator theorist here is another possibility.

Of course I don't know what OG would be doing in Idaho but one never knows?

That does seem more likely.

Last I heard, OG and P'OH where kung fu fightin' on a mountain top during a thunderstorm.

Oh, I don't miss him. No way. I'm taking advantage of his leave of absence to gain on his point total. I'm getting close. 2 more weeks gone and I might just overtake him.

If you miss someone on-line, there's nothing to stop you hitting F5.
If you miss someone in real life, lack of bullets can stop you reloading.

In this case "missing" is an adjective not a verb.

Not sure if this is the right place: not a programing question but if it should be somewhere else I'll happily move it.
So, been asked to find out about new membership uptakes on service based web sites (LifeLock or eHarmony, for instance). In other words how many new members would you expect to gain in the first year? Marketing effort would, no doubt, have an impact on the numbers but is there anywhere I can look up some numbers? My google-fu has been letting me down on this one.
Thanks.

Ah, you need to re-focus your Chi and harness the powers within. Only then will you find the answer you seek.

I don't think you are going to be able to google this as it is very different between companies, and also very private information.
Your best bet would probably be to use a heuristic approach and produce upper and lower estimates.

Yes, thanks, I had a feeling that was going to be the most likely route.

That's very open-ended. It's a lot like asking what something smells like that you've never smelt. Who knows?
The best metric that I know of so far is, the first year will suck. Not too many people knew about eBay, PayPal, Amazon, etc. when they first opened. Getting the word out takes time and money. There's just no other way.
People are so "busy" (actually cluttered and confused but I digress) in their daily routine that it takes repetition to drill something in their head. That's one of cornerstones to marketing... repetition. Which means people will have to fundamentally see something over and over again until they reach a point in time where they want to use your product or service. This takes time man.
So, unless you got millions to spend on advertising, be realistic and don't assume you'll be the next Amazon within a year.

Sage advice: thanks.
I was thinking that there may be some metrics published somewhere: I guess not!

Even if there were it wouldn't help *that* much. There's way too many variables involved. There are some things in life you just have to hanker down and grit your teeth and go through, like making a million, learning about women, losing weight, etc. You can get an idea by reading about it, but it's not so cut in dry like with computers as there are so many factors involved to your personal situation, the market, etc.
I will say this, everyone who's ever made it, in just about any endeavor in life, they were introspective. People that never learn about themselves - their strengths and weaknesses - NEVER make it in life. You have to see your own flaws and fix them. Try, test, try again, etc. I'm no millionaire, but I know enough of them and have success in other areas in life to know this to be true.

Thanks but this is where I started to vomit.
Appreciate the *advice* but when I need a 12 step program I'll be in touch.
